May 15th, 2008 | by admin |
Hollywood private investigator Anthony Pellicano has been found guilty by a Los Angeles jury of wracketeering, involving wire tapping and other bully tactics.
Pellicano was found guilty on more than 75 charges he was facing and is expected to be sentenced to the rest of his life in prison.
The jury had deliberated for approximately two weeks, after testimony wrapped up. They also found a former police officer guilty on numerous charges.
Pellicano was found guilty of setting up wire taps on the phone lines of certain people to gain valuable information that he would then sell to his high profile clients.
During his trial, many famous celebrities testified, and Pellicano represented himself, not hiring a lawyer.
He is expected to be sentenced later this year.
